Under this rule, electric service will not be disconnected from Oct. 15 through April 15 due to non-payment, if customers meet Cold Weather Rule requirements.

However, this rule does not relieve customers of their responsibility to pay their utility bills.

Those who qualify for Cold Weather Rule protection need to set up a payment schedule with the utility.

For more information on the Cold Weather Rule, call Connexus Energy’s Credit Department at 763-323-2620.
